  minute, look at the price of a cheap computer. Metal recovery has to be done on a massive scale to make it profitable.

  The pentium pro is the king of the heap at about a gram of gold , I remember back in 1996- ish I built my first PC from scratch based on a pentium pro 200 .
  
  I still have that tower and it still works the last time I checked it booted up 0S/2 4.0

  When there used to be quantities of printed circuit boards in them, there was more, but still not very much. Cheers, RickO
